The Controller has hidden ten questions around the world for each pair of contestants, who have a chance of winning £1,000,000.

To reach these questions, the pairs face Bond-inspired challenges, which push their physical strength and mental reserves to the limit.

Each question is worth an increasing amount of money, and if answered correctly, they bank the cash and continue to the next question.

The series premieres on November 10, 2023.
